I finally finished it! After 3 days of work, I am finally calling this song done!

I won't lie... I am absolutely in love with this song. This is the first song I am truly happy with that I created on my own. And I've been screwin around with music creation since around 1999. So, I hope everyone who listens to this enjoys it as much as I do.

There is no real story to the song, just a sort of theme. The theme is of course regret. The way I built it has a timeline that goes Present, to Past and then back to Present again. With any luck, people will be able to hear the timeline within the song itself.

I'm also interested in hearing the scenarios that people think of when they hear this song. My partner Josh (kelwynshade) thought up the scenario of a king that had just lost a war and was staring down at his destroyed city with it's dying or dead inhabitants lying in the streets. To me, things like that give the song more character and make it that much more enjoyable, so feel free to post what you see when you hear this!

I've talked enough, so lastly I just want to thank Josh for helping me find some good percussion to throw into the song, it really made a difference, and thanks to my friends that put up with me nagging them for their thoughts on the song in general, lol.

Also... if you like this song... go check out Josh's (kelwynshade) song Path of Memories. It was a big influence for me when I made this.

And I'm out!

Incredible

This is something like what my character would be going through right now. The"Damn, what have I done?" type deal sums it up well, and man, what you have done is created a masterpiece, just my opinion.

with all the hype about this song, I really expected something more from this. Instead, even though its still is really good, it is similar to your other single yet doesn't give you the same feeling.

The piano is tedious, the melody is sometimes random, the transitions are very sharp, at many places the parts that need to stick out don't, even though you've made the violin very realistic, the rest just doesn't fit together. At times it feels almost tedious or redundant to listen to the song, I'll be expecting better work from you like **moments of inspiration**. But still, I can't say that this is a bad song. I'm just a little disappointed.
